Aye. The “doubters to believers” speech only feels like it was a year or two ago.

Klopp: “The atmosphere today showed everything to me. It’s wonderful. I love it. I will not say don’t sing the song anymore. People can do what they want. We need the crowd. Just not always thinking of the manager!”

was there any talk of trillion pound investments from Chinese businessmen with access to state funds?

Got through today’s game, after the announcement. It was a good fixture against Norwich, as we won at a canter. Jurgen felt the love and choked up a bit too. It was all very appropriate. He had his announcement a couple days ago. The match going fans had their reaction today and showed him the love.
I think we will now knuckle down and get behind the team. It’s not that we never did, but just that we had to mark Jurgen’s announcement and respond to it. But now it’s back to business. Chelsea up next. Mid table team, underachieving, but very expensively assembled, and they raise their game against us. So the fans will be fully focused on the game, and getting behind the team as we need the three points.
We love Jurgen, and a party/farewell is coming, and hopefully it will include a very big trophy.
In the meantime, the wheel keeps turning and it’s a big game against Chelsea.
The passion will be higher as there’s more on the line and there’s more at risk than against a pretty-much-sure-thing game against Norwich.

Naby Keita on Klopp’s departure:
“When I heard the news, I had tears in my eyes. I was like his son in Liverpool and I consider him my dad.”

Bit click bait but no player really knows do they.

Yeah, they have to leave it open in case the club does something ridiculous like appointing Mourinho or Tuchel.
Wouldn’t blame anyone for jumping ship in that case.

If the manager comes in and says yeah we want you then do a new deal if he feels it’s time to move on that goes for any player.
Sadly we get this for every player at some point.
The manager’s wishes are not always in agreement with the club stance. Ultimately, granting a new signature is up to the club. Decision falls on a combination of people who are above a newly sporting person above the manager. Manager will have his say in that, for sure.
Ideally, you have two sides (club & manager with the player & his entourage). In reality, there’s often 3.
But it doesn’t change the point I made which is no player can be sure of their future.

What a lovely tribute, he is trying to hold back the tears. It is not easy, even after 4 days.

There was a lookalike that used to fool people around the stadium. They had him on The Last Leg a couple of times.

Klopp to media asking him about Virg:
“Write what you want, the club is stable. Everything will be fine, I’m 100% sure. I would recommend to stay calm. Very often the fans’ concerns are not as big as you might think. You underestimate the intelligence of our supporters."
Always has the right words to say
